Three Estuary.

Looking at the Tibetan slaves who were erecting the pontoon bridge, there was an indescribable bitterness in the Qinling Tomb, this time the attack on the Great Zhou was defeated after all. The outcome of defeat is obvious, that is, he will lose most of the remaining alliance powers, and I am afraid that the Zampu crossbow will also attack the Geer family.

Where to go, on Qinling thought about it day and night for a month, the news of his younger brother's victory on Zanpo did not make him happy, and after seeing the means of King Wu of Wei, he deeply understood that unless Wu Chu died, Tubo had no chance to attack the Central Plains, and even Longyou had no chance.

But one way or another, that opportunity is gone. Now he just wants to join up with his younger brother to see if he can take down the four towns of Anxi, but with Wang Xiaojie stationed in Qiuzi, there is actually no chance. Wang Xiaojie is still familiar with him, steady and daring to fight, although there is not much strategy, but the most important thing is calm, such a person is the most suitable for defense.

On Qinling looked at the Tibetan slaves at the mouth of the three rivers again, and said to the eldest son beside him, Gongren, "After dark, let's go." ”

Gong Ren is also quite haggard these days, seeing that his father is worried, he doesn't dare to speak more, so he agrees and retreats to prepare.

There is a lot of preparation for marching and fighting, whether it is victory or retreat, so Gong Ren must prepare in advance so as not to delay the departure time.

After Wu Zheng gave a lecture in the barracks, he convened the generals to discuss, looking at the original more than 100 generals, now there are only more than 70 people, although it has been so long, but still very sad. After all, those people died in battle, and everyone who died in battle should be remembered. But people tend to remember the people who get ahead.

"Generals obey orders!" Wu Zheng said.

The generals were immediately shocked, and then said loudly: "Wait for Your Highness's dispatch!" ”

Wu Chu said in a deep voice: "The Tubo people are still outside the city, they are still very strong, we are not opponents in the field, but we have a plan. Tonight, the Qinling Tomb will be suspicious, and then flee north. You say, do we chase or not! ”

"The Tibetans should die, Your Highness. Let's chase! Guo Zhiyun was the first to agree.

Some generals hesitated, but Wu Chu would not give them a chance, and said: "This king has made up his mind, that is, chase!" Kill the Tibetans. Avenge the dead brothers! Whoever will not pursue him with me? Stand on the right! ”

These words suddenly surprised the generals, but even if they are unwilling to pursue or are afraid of death, standing on the right at this time, it will undoubtedly become the target of the public, and they are greedy for life and afraid of death, so their future in the army is completely ruined.

So, Wu Chu waited for a moment. Seeing that no one was standing on the right, his face was still solemn. "This time, maybe some of us, including me, are likely to die under the butcher's knife of the Tubo people, but the husband has done something and has not done anything, as a soldier, you must have the consciousness of dying on the battlefield and returning the body of the horse leather. If not, then please study with peace of mind and take a test. ”

The generals hung their heads, and of course, those who dared to fight as if they were dead still held their heads high. Don't squint, listen to Wu Zheng's orders.

Wu Chu didn't care about the generals who bowed their heads, and ordered: "Guo Zhiyun stayed in Lintao City, assisted Yao Tingshi in defending the city, and if he was sent by Yao Tingshi, if there was any disobedience, this king would not be spared, and the rest of the generals would follow me to pursue Tubo!" ”

"Obey Your Highness's orders!" The generals bowed and replied.

Immediately, Wu Chu waved his hand, and the generals retreated one by one, but Guo Zhiyun stayed, and he had something to say.

Wu Chu saw Guo Zhiyun and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Guo Zhiyun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the last general wants to follow you!" ”

Wu Zheng stared at Guo Zhiyun, saw the eagerness in his eyes, and said: "Lintao City is very important, if you can't defend it, Tubo will inevitably fight back, then our efforts some time ago will be in vain, do you understand?" ”

Although Guo Zhiyun was unwilling, he still lowered his head, bowed down and said, "The last general understands!" ”

"Then don't you get out of here!" Wu Chuan kicked Guo Zhiyun out.

Guo Zhiyun had no choice but to hurry out of the camp, as generals who were promoted by the King of Wei, they only needed to know loyalty and obedience.

Wu Chu still trusts the generals he promotes, and he also has a general understanding of the temper and talent of many generals, such as Guo Zhiyun. In the past ten years, his martial arts have made great progress, and he has learned the art of war, quite a bit of strategy, it can be said that Guo Zhiyun is a growing general, more professional, is quite a good staff officer.

Night began to fall, and the Tibetans at the mouth of the three rivers began to cross the river, holding torches high, for fear that the Great Zhou army would not know about their retreat.

In the North Gate barracks, 20,000 Great Zhou soldiers are ready to go, as long as the King of Wei Wushu gives an order, then they will follow the King of Wei to attack the Tubo.

In the military tent, Wu Chuan was pacing, he was waiting for news from the secret agents, and in the north of Linzhou, all the way to the area of Surohan Mountain, it was full of big secret agents.

These spies were originally from Guanlong, and as long as they changed out of their scout uniforms, they couldn't tell that they were soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What's more, it is the Tubo people, since the annexation of Tuyuhun, although Tubo has had some contact with Longyou, but it is still very little, and the relationship with the Great Zhou is bad, the border market has long been canceled. There was no one but a few traders and smugglers.

Therefore, it is impossible to distinguish between the Qinling Tombs, not to mention, since ancient times, how can anyone attach so much importance to the intelligence system? Moreover, even if it is discovered, sending messages is a hassle.

However, the Qin Tomb forgot that the Central Plains Dynasty still had a tradition of domesticating carrier pigeons. Just like the people of the grasslands and Tibet, they domesticated eagles for hunting.

At three o'clock, the guards hurriedly ran into the camp tent, and after saluting, they handed the pigeon letter to Wu Zhuang, who unfolded it and looked at it, and it only read, "The falcon begins!" ”

This is the code of action, Wu Chu immediately dressed up, put on a silver helmet, carried a sword at his waist, stepped out of the camp, and shouted loudly: "Generals listen to the order, go!" ”

Immediately, there was a shout. The guards brought the lion skull, Wu Chu got on the war horse, took the spear, pointed the spear at the night sky, and said: "The generals lead their headquarters, walk slowly, and the scouts are exploring the way in front." Be careful! ”

At the same time, the north gate of Lintao City slowly opened, and the Great Zhou scouts galloped out of the city first. Then they disappeared into the night, followed by a pair of soldiers.

The Great Zhou soldiers did not light the torches, and it was clear that a little torch would be discovered by the Tibetans, so what was the point of their pursuit?

Three Estuary.

On Qinling looked again at the Tibetan slaves and wounded soldiers who were crossing the river, these people might be completely wiped out by the Great Zhou army, but he had to do so. Because he knew very well that the king of Wei of the Great Zhou would not let go of his army lightly. Therefore, he can only be suspicious. Head north to join Zampo.

Now that the army has begun to move north, he also has to go, and once again looking in the direction of Lintao City, he sighed. Whispered, "Let's go!" ”

Gong Ren and other Tibetan generals followed. In the dark of night, it went north along the Tao River.

There are three routes from Linzhou to Liangzhou, the first is to go south from Lintao City and then pass through Weizhou, and then pass through the Jincheng of Lanzhou, you can go directly to Liangzhou, the road is far, but most of them are official roads, there are three post stations in the middle. The second is to start from the north gate of Lintao City and go north along the Tao River. Turn east at Mount Surokhan and walk straight along the river valley to Jincheng. Of course, you can also reach the bank of the Yellow River, and when you turn north, you can reach Liangzhou by passing through Wushengyi. The third is to turn west in the Surokhan Mountain, along the Tao River to the Yellow River, after crossing the Yellow River, you can enter the boundary of Shanzhou, but this road canyons are vertical and horizontal, swampy, almost uninhabited, and if you are not careful, you will be wiped out.

The first article is that the Qinling will not go, and the second and third articles must pass through the Surokhan Mountain, which is also an opportunity for Wu Chu to eat the army of the Qinling, and it is also the last battle to end the invasion of Tibet.

Therefore, Wu Chu was very cautious, half a month ago, the Jishi Army hid in the mountains, for the convenience of action, Wu Chu invented fried noodles, which is very conducive to long-distance travel food. In the previous life, the ancestors and martyrs relied on that thing to complete the 25,000-mile Long March, climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands, and now the Jishi Army has only marched from Jishi Mountain to Surohan Mountain, which is 500 miles away.

Of course, in the middle of the mountains, barren mountains and swamps, the stone army also suffered a lot. However, Wu Youxu felt very fulfilled by the strategy, he could not see the hypocritical face of the Wu royal family in the army, let alone hear the rampant cool officials in the court, and there was no secret fighting method of the old and new nobles, he could do things wholeheartedly.

Of course, this kind of thing won't be long after, and in a few years, if the Li family inherits the unification, what will happen to him, a man with heavy troops? If the Wu clan inherits the unification, he hopes that Wu Chu can inherit it, after all, for now, Wu Chu is a very successful successor.

But whoever inherits it, he will not lead the army alone. Therefore, Wu Youxu cherishes this life very much, although it is hard and happy, at least he is worthy of his ancestors and ancestors, he did not harm people, but made a difference.

The hiding place of the Jishi army is very hidden, in the mountains of Surokhan, there are caves everywhere, and the mountains are quite densely wooded, it is very cool in the summer, and if you don't cover the bedding at night, you will feel cold. But eating was always hard to swallow, only salted jerky and fried noodles, and if it weren't for the sake of concealment, he would have ordered a barbecue long ago. Because there are a lot of wild things in the mountains. Some soldiers have begun to drink blood, and most of the soldiers are Qiang people, belonging to a branch of Xiqiang, so they don't feel anything when they eat it raw.

On this day, after Wu Youxu had eaten the salted jerky and fried noodles with difficulty, there were footsteps outside the cave, and then a general walked in, it was Huangfu Shu, the lieutenant general of the Jishi Army. This person was recommended by King Wei, and after arriving at Jishi Mountain, it was also this person who helped recruit the Jishi Army, and he was very talented, and he knew the art of war, but he just didn't like to talk.

"Is there something wrong with the Emperor Fu Lang?" Wu Youxu asked.

Huangfu Shu is only more than thirty years old, because he has been practicing martial arts all year round, so his body is very strong, but he is not tall, and he belongs to the public level, he came to Wu Youxu, bowed down and said: "King Anping, the envoy of King Wei has arrived." ”

Wu Youxu stood up suddenly, he finally waited, is it over? Then he asked, "Bring it in!" ”

Huangfu Shu bowed down, walked out of the cave, and in a moment brought in a burly black-faced man, it was Heizi, who was now Wu Chu's pro-soldier captain. Since marrying the eldest sister of Niu, he has been much more stable, plus he is thick and fine, sensitive, and strong in martial arts, so he quickly replaced Wu Yidao as a pro-soldier captain, and Wu Yidao also retired in the Wei Wangfu in a timely manner, and taught the princes and daughters martial arts by the way. And Ya Jiu is almost nowhere to be seen, so now there are many fewer old people in Wu Zheng's personal guards.

"The prince of Wei, the captain of the army, Wu Hei, has seen the king of Anping County." Kuroko bowed.

Wu Youxu couldn't help but admire in his heart, just this physique, coupled with the black head like carbon, is terrifying, to be able to be the captain of King Wei's own soldiers, the martial arts must only be high.

"The captain is exempt, but he brought the order of the king of Wei?" Wu Youxu asked.

Kuroko agreed, and then spread out a piece of paper, on which was a sketch, which was a simple topographic map of Mount Surohan. Heizi pointed to a valley and said: "Whether the Tibetan army is going east or west, it will only pass through this valley, your location is here, only ten miles away from the valley, but the mountains are high and the forests are deep, there is no road to walk, and it is more than ten miles to walk, so His Highness's order is that you dig a pit outside the valley in advance, and place flint and rolling wood on the mountain road, of course, the sulfur cannot be found, but there are always more stones." In short, His Royal Highness's intention was to block the Tibetan soldiers in a valley. In order to be able to destroy this Tibetan army, His Highness asked me to bring a mysterious weapon! ”

"Mysterious weapons? What mysterious weapon? Wu Youxu asked.

Heizi paused and said, "King Anping still doesn't want to know well, and he can see it when the time comes." ”

Although Wu Youxu didn't like it in his heart, he also knew that some things were not known well, so as not to cause death. So he asked, "According to the captain, when will we leave?" ”

Kuroko thought for a while and said, "Let's go now, arrive at the location early, and arrange it early, so as to save the hasty mistake of the big thing." ”

Wu Youxu nodded, and then ordered Huangfu Shu: "Huangfu Shu listens!" ”

Huangfu Shu's body suddenly shook, "The end will be!" (To be continued......)
